The Gentleman's Mind
Pony OC: Purple Absurd
Purple Absurd A.K.A. Mr. Insane.

User Image



User Image Name -- Purple Absurd::Mr. Insane.

User Image Type -- Unicorn.

User Image Age -- 24.

User Image Gender -- Male.

User Image Family -- Unknown.

User Image Cutie mark -- An indigo/black top hat.

User Image Talent -- Magic through use of his broken horn and a talent in antiquities. Is a very sly showpony.

User Image Residence -- A mobile horseless carriage that is powered by magic, functions as both his home and oddity shop.

User Image Other -- Unique traits are the whites of his eyes are black, his teeth are sharpened, and his horn is shattered and broken.

User Image Personality -- Purple Absurd is a carefree showpony who thrives on the unpredictability and mystery of the world. Preferring to always take the path less traveled, most are put off by his crocodile smile and con-pony like attitude though this rarely seems to register to the outgoing gentlecolt.

Speaking of gentlecolt, Absurd considers himself one first and foremost. Despite his strange and sporadic traits, he shall always keep his word and if one becomes capable of gaining his friendship, they will rarely find a more loyal and (sometimes brutally) honest companion.

Beyond shyness, he has a habit of being a motor-mouth, always using his gift of gab to get what he wants or simply engage in conversation. This unicorn is rarely seen without a huge grin plastered on his face. Though the quickest way Absurd can become glum and disheartened is when pony-folk assume he is either wicked or has ill-intentions solely because of his looks.

User Image Enjoyment -- Purple Absurd loves the strange and the odd, always on the lookout for items of mystery throughout his travels. He also believes that life is a precious commodity that is never to be wasted on anxiety or sadness; simply living it up is enough enjoyment for the unicorn. He is always willing to try new things.

User Image Loathes -- Absurd dislikes overly serious ponies, mostly because he thinks they should lighten up. His other primary bane is boredom.

User Image Imperfection -- Despite his intimidating and rather creepy appearance, Absurd doesn't believe in good or evil; only necessity.

His magic, due to his damaged horn, can sometimes be extremely unpredictable and dangerous.

Being over-talkative, he sometimes rubs ponies the wrong way by seeming obnoxious despite meaning no ill will.

User Image Good qualities -- He is extremely loyal to those he considers his 'chums', willing to go through any amount of self punishment to aid them (though he may complain a LARGE amount.)

His magic, though primarily unpredictable, is very powerful though it is unknown if this is due to his horn being so severely damaged.

Due to the nature of his profession, he seems to have a surplus of strange and mystical artifacts that vary in properties and power.
Bio --
Not much is known about Absurd's history for when folks ask him where he is from, the unicorn will simply answer with a curt 'Around' before moving to some random subject change.

Q&A
You see some trash on the side of the road. You feel like you should pick it up, but it's sticky and covered in filth. It might cause a problem for the local creatures if they find it. What do you do?

"Huh... I'd check to see if it's useful, if not... ehhhh, I'll find somethin' to do with it anyways. Maybe sell it as a shrubbery."

You see an old mare being mugged by a stallion who is larger and stronger than you. You could help her, call the police, or act like you never saw it happen. What do you do?

"What?! I'd stick my hoof so far up tha' guy's rear, it'd be considered my new SHOE SIZE!"

A friend asks you for help moving into his house. Another friend asks you to help fix his computer. The second friend has been asking you for the past week but you've been busy. Who do you help?

"Help 'em all, simple as that. Next question, champ."

What would you rather have: More friends or more time?

"More friends-o-course, they make all that time worthwhile.

Sheesh... ya' makin' me sound like a fortune cookie."


Your friend is moving away. You can only give him one of two gifts: flowers or bits. Which do you choose?

"Pffft, I'd give 'em whatever I thought they needed. Try and stop me."

Your uncle puts you in charge of his business because he can no longer manage it. The business is not doing so well, but you have some ideas that might help. Your far more successful rival has offered to buy your business for far more than it is worth, taking you off the market. What do you do?

"My uncle has a restrainin' order on me... so... um... next question."

You're almost late for a doctor's appointment. You call up the doctor to let him know, and he gives you the option of rescheduling. You might be able to make it on time but you're not sure. What do you do?

"Eh, I can put that off another day. I'd wait fa' the reschedule. I'm not gonna' rush myself so a Doc' can ogle at my horn. Don't mind the nurses though..."

Your good friend calls you up and tells you that one of his cousins is in the hospital and he wants you to come along. You and the cousin had a falling out and hate each other for unspecified reasons. Do you stay at home or go to the hospital?

"Course I'd go fa' the sake of my chum! If the cousin don't like it, tough bits."

You're friend has been kidnapped. They are held hostage at the end of two merging paths. The left path is a spooky forest filled with cut-throats and the right path is ablaze and barely passable. Which do you choose?

"Pffft, every cut-throat, vagabond, brigand, and hired thug this side of Equestria owes me. I'd take the left and call in some favors."

You find a wallet on the ground. It belongs to somepony you know, an older pony with memory problems, but you don't know them all that well. There are a few bucks in it, a negligible amount. Do you take the bits or return it as is?

"Eh, the old geezer... proly needs it more. I'd return it...

But don't think I'm goin' soft-o-nothin'!"


You find a bottle labeled, "Change who you are." What does it mean? Will it change your species, talent, outlook on life? Do you drink it? If you do drink it, what does it end up doing to you?

"I'd keep it and sell it. I have no regrets so I got nothin' ta' change 'bout my life."
